Yes Sir....I got my hand out. If these are the same peppers that my mother raised, I know they are beautiful and they make the best pepper sauce for putting on Greens and cabbage. The pepper plants she had looked like someone had strung Christmas lights in them and she had them growing in all her flower beds..

if there the birds eyes my grandma always planted the oil on the skin is the hottest ive ever experianced , me and my brother spent most of a day in my aunts ice house after pickin the pretty little berries.

earl...If you want to read a story about those peppers and my childhood, enter Birdseye peppers in the search window of the forum. My moms Birdseyes were so hot, you couldn't look at them unless you were wearing sunglasses.

CNS, yes I planted them and also some Texas Petes that did very well. Do you need some seeds? I saved quite a bit of them. I like to see them on the bush...the reds and greens...very ornamental.

Dragonfly....Do you still have some Birdseye peppers to share with an Old Texas Boy?

I have done some more research on the Birdseye Pepper (McMahon's Texas Birdseye Pepper---Chiltecpin). These are the peppers that my Mother had growing everywhere in the flower beads when I was a kid. She had gotten here seeds or plants from a friend in West Texas. That was in the 1940s.
